{"product_id":"getting-it-wrong-from-the-kieran-egan-9780300105100","title":"Getting It Wrong from the Beginning: Our Progressivist Inheritance from Herbert Spencer, John Dewey, and Jean Piaget","description":"The ideas upon which public education was founded in the last half of the nineteenth century were wrong. And despite their continued dominance in educational thinking for a century and a half, these ideas are no more right today. So argues one of the most original and highly regarded educational theorists of our time in \u003ci\u003eGetting It Wrong from the Beginning\u003c\/i\u003e. Kieran Egan explains how we have come to take mistaken concepts about education for granted and why this dooms our attempts at educational reform. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEgan traces the nineteenth-century sources of Progressive thinking about education and their persistence even now. He diagnoses the problem with our schools in a radically different way, and likewise prescribes novel alternatives to present educational practice. His book is both persuasive and full of promise--a book that belongs on the must-read list for anyone who cares about the success of our schools.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kieran Egan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 030010510X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300105100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/11\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.26h x 5.40w x 0.59d","brand":"Kieran Egan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075999527167,"sku":"9780300105100","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_27cd32b8-03d0-47b1-82b9-d375aea45641.jpg?v=1685462614","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/getting-it-wrong-from-the-kieran-egan-9780300105100","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
